Bannister Family House

The mission of Bannister Family House is to provide affordable lodging and supportive services for out-of-town families of UC San Diego Health System patients. It is a haven of comfort and hope for weary families who share similar experiences and concerns in friendly, homelike surroundings close to the hospital.

The non-medical atmosphere of the house provides a retreat from the stress of keeping a constant bedside vigil at the hospital. Families have a chance to meet other families in similar situations and develop a support network necessary to sustain a loved one through serious illness.

While it is a possible living option, Bannister House is not dedicated solely to cancer patients and their caregivers. Priority is given to life-threatening circumstances, including trauma, burn and transplant patients. Bannister House will consider cancer patients on a case-by-case basis. For more information, including a virtual tour, see the Bannister Family House website.
